AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) The person in charge of an operation signs for that entry, and the master signs each page. This is correct based on the requirements outlined in 33 CFR 151.25, which states that each operation must be recorded in the Oil Record Book and signed by the person in charge of the relevant operation. Additionally, the master of the ship must sign each completed page of the Oil Record Book. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements. Option A refers to the engineering watch and chief engineer, which is not specified in the regulations. Option B refers to the navigational watch and master, which is also not the correct procedure outlined in the regulations. Option D mentions the chief engineer signing each page, which is incorrect as per the regulations.
